Brendan Losch

Born on a ship during the 1984 Baseball World Series between the San Diego Padres & the Detroit Tigers. Sleeps in a Peachtone cabin in the woods of Western Maryland, between a Captain Beefheart poster, and dog named, the loan officer. Has a nasty cough, and eye sight a bit less sharp than when he was 12. Finished a collection of songs : Paranoid Cocoon, in a dry Summer in 2007, with a little help from his friends, and, of course, from the red moon overhead. Plays those same songs, with those same friends, on stage... gee!
Michael Nau (of Page France fame) and Whitney McGraw (also from Page France) always bring the goods live.
